Effects of Combined Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) and Lateral Femoral Cutaneous Nerve (LFCN) Blocks on Anaesthetic Requirements and Electroencephalographic Depth of Anaesthesia During Total Hip Arthroplasty (PENG-LFCN-EEG)
Effects of Combined Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) and Lateral Femoral Cutaneous Nerve (LFCN) Blocks on Anaesthetic Requirements and Electroencephalographic Depth of Anaesthesia During Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Randomized Controlled Trial
This prospective, randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effects of combined pericapsular nerve group (PENG) and lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) blocks on intraoperative anaesthetic consumption and electroencephalographic (EEG)-derived anaesthetic depth in patients undergoing elective total hip arthroplasty.
A total of 50 adult patients will be randomly allocated to two groups: combined PENG and LFCN blocks followed by general anaesthesia, or general anaesthesia alone. Anaesthetic depth will be monitored using the SedLine EEG monitoring system.
The primary outcome will be intraoperative sevoflurane consumption. Secondary outcomes will include remifentanil consumption, EEG-derived parameters including Patient State Index (PSI) and suppression ratio, haemodynamic variables, and recovery characteristics.
The study aims to determine whether combined regional blocks reduce anaesthetic requirements while maintaining adequate EEG-guided anaesthetic depth.

Detaljeret beskrivelse
Total hip arthroplasty is frequently associated with significant nociceptive stimulation during surgery. Regional anaesthesia techniques, including the pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block and lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) block, may reduce intraoperative nociceptive input and consequently decrease anaesthetic and opioid requirements.
This prospective, randomized controlled trial will include 50 patients aged 18-65 years with American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status I-II who are scheduled for elective total hip arthroplasty.
Patients will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either an intervention group receiving combined ultrasound-guided PENG and LFCN blocks before general anaesthesia or a control group receiving general anaesthesia without preoperative regional blocks.
General anaesthesia will be administered using a standardized EEG-guided protocol. During induction, propofol will be titrated to achieve a target Patient State Index (PSI) of 25-50, as monitored by the SedLine system. Following tracheal intubation, anaesthesia will be maintained with sevoflurane, with continuous EEG monitoring to maintain the target PSI range.
The primary outcome will be intraoperative sevoflurane consumption. Secondary outcomes will include total remifentanil consumption, EEG-derived anaesthetic depth parameters, suppression ratio measurements, the occurrence and duration of burst suppression, intraoperative haemodynamic variables, and postoperative recovery characteristics.
By comparing anaesthetic consumption and EEG-derived parameters between the two groups, this study aims to evaluate the effects of combined PENG and LFCN blocks on intraoperative anaesthetic requirements and EEG-guided anaesthetic depth during total hip arthroplasty.

Eksperimentel: PENG + LFCN Block Group
Patients in this group will receive ultrasound-guided pericapsular nerve group (PENG) and lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) blocks before general anaesthesia. General anaesthesia will be induced with propofol titrated according to EEG-derived Patient State Index (PSI) values and maintained with sevoflurane, targeting a PSI range of 25-50. |
Procedure: Combined Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) and Lateral Femoral Cutaneous Nerve (LFCN) Block
Ultrasound-guided pericapsular nerve group (PENG) and lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) blocks will be performed before induction of general anaesthesia. Both blocks will be administered as part of a combined regional anaesthesia technique to provide perioperative analgesia during total hip arthroplasty. |
|
Aktiv komparator: No Intervention Group
Patients in this group will undergo general anaesthesia without preoperative peripheral nerve blocks. General anaesthesia will be induced with propofol titrated according to EEG-derived Patient State Index (PSI) values and maintained with sevoflurane, targeting a PSI range of 25-50. |
General anaesthesia will be induced with propofol titrated according to EEG-derived Patient State Index (PSI) values and maintained with sevoflurane, targeting a PSI range of 25-50. Remifentanil will be administered intraoperatively according to a standardized anaesthetic protocol. |

Intraoperative Sevoflurane Consumption (ml/h)
Tidsramme: From initiation of sevoflurane administration after tracheal intubation until discontinuation of sevoflurane at the end of surgery.
|
Intraoperative sevoflurane consumption will be recorded in millilitres (mL) using the anaesthesia workstation. Hourly sevoflurane consumption will be calculated by dividing the total consumption by the duration of sevoflurane administration in hours. |
